A TU Wien-led paper in Joule says AI data centers must adapt to the grid, citing a US study where sites needed to cut demand for no more than 35 hours a year. We trace the figure to its source, add the 32 generation hours it leaves out, and explain the batteries, costs and connection rules behind it.
Oracle has sent a force majeure notice on Project Jupiter, citing potential delays in securing power. We follow the power: the unissued air permit for 2.45GW of fuel cells, the twice-rejected Green Chile pipeline, PJM’s 6.8GW capacity shortfall, gas turbines sold out to 2031, why a power delay is a hard case for force majeure, and what businesses planning AI capacity should do.
On 27 August 2026 X’s Global Government Affairs account said its Safety team had identified a Chinese bot farm of roughly 200,000 inauthentic accounts, and that 200 of them were posting comic strips and text claiming AI data centers raise household electricity bills and strain local grids. This breakdown covers exactly what X disclosed and in what words, how the artwork ties the accounts to the “Data Center Bandwagon” campaign OpenAI named and banned in June 2026, why 200 accounts are a rounding error next to a domestic backlash that has stalled roughly $130 billion of construction in a single quarter, what PJM capacity prices and Goldman Sachs forecasts say about electricity bills, and the methodology X has still not published.
